    I’m honestly not surprised. It’s one of those rare movies that has mass appeal (which guarantees it at least half a billion) and also a surprisingly good story that had critics and audiences raving about it.

    I was only forced to watch it because I didn’t want to wait in the mall that long for Oppenheimer to start while the wife finishes Barbie. I haven’t been more satisfied and entertained by a blind watch since… Burning.
